[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ Are you the OP, did they not have a good year for admissions?[/quote]

It's not a one-year thing.  It's the consistent decline over the year.  They got about 15% to T20 this year, last year 21%.  Year 2023 is higher, etc etc.

They used to send 10 to MIT 60 to Duke 15 to Cornell.  This year there are 2 to M 13 Duke 4 Cornell.[/quote]

This is one of the most rigorous high schools in the nation.  It’s sad to see the decline.

These top colleges now would rather admit dei test optional urm who are not as prepared academically.  [/quote]

These students are the absolute top students in their home schools.  Going through a rigorous selection process (more rigorous than some ivies) to join the high school in the 11-th grade.  Then they went through two years of highly advanced curriculum.  [/quote]

My child went and is at an Ivy. It was essays and LOR like college, but felt much lower stakes for us. Mine was lucky to get in from their county at a strong school. I think it helped they were out of science courses as they took all but one in 9th/10th. They choose based on who has a need for more enrichment which is a harder claim in some areas. You see complaints on parent page just like college, why wasn’t my higher stat kid chosen, etc. I also think they select for who appears ready to leave home early. There’s a very vocal teacher on parent page that resists against college prestige race too. [/quote]

NCSSM used to be test required for entrance.  In recent years they became test optional, favoring dei.  As a result, they get much less top students.  This is the reason for the consistent decline in academic performance.[/quote]
